Senior Robotics Research Engineer

We are a next-gen cybernetics start-up backed by a few top-tier investors (led by NEA).

Our R&D blends robotics, machine learning, and high-fidelity simulation. We aim to push the boundaries of what intelligent systems are capable of achieving both autonomously and in collaboration with humans.

Before starting Neo Cybernetica, our CEO founded the unicorn AI company DataRobot and led for almost a decade while working directly with worldwide customers across many industries.

You can expect to be part of something exciting at the contour of human knowledge.

We are looking for a Sr. Robotics Research Engineer to join our fast-growing team of highly skilled professionals and work on breakthrough robotics technology. 

In this role, you will integrate and test robotics embedded systems and sensors, both in the real-world and in hardware-in-the-loop simulation. Collaborate with multifunctional teams who work close to the metal, as well as consumers of sensor data.

This role requires close collaboration with teammates on-site in our robotics lab located in the Greater Boston Area. We will provide you with relocation assistance for this role.

You are a proactive and thorough engineer, passionate about robotics and autonomous systems. You stay on top of the latest techniques and best practices. You love coming up with new ideas as much as you love building them. Getting to the bottom of problems is what lets you come up with phenomenal solutions.

If you're eager to make a real impact on creating the future of state-of-the-art intelligent robotics, we want you on our team.
